Nice.....just curious, can someone overlay the 996TT and the 997TT?
They do look like carbon copies of each other.
Coincidently, so do the bottom two. Whoa, did I just figure out the secret to the turbo success? Have I cracked the Porsche code?
Seriously, if those cars are actual size relative to each other, then you can clearly see how it's grown over the previous generation. But, with more size and more weight, it has increased in power, so, it's balanced out.

I agree, although I really like the early 930 3.0 for its simplicity. It has the prettiest rear wing by far, but it didn't have enough room for an intercooler in there, so they made the 930 3.3 with the fatter/uglier wing...
I also like the black shark fin ahead of the rear wheels on the 930...

Which is why Porsche has to do something major in the next 5 years to refresh its line-up and lessen its reliance on the 911 bloodline. The performance is phenomenal yet the appearance is not.
Lets hope the panamera is just the start.The 993 tt is a classic design, but i will wait till i see a 997 tt in person before i say it(993) is the best, but the tail is too conservative on the 997. I have been on a few rides with a midnight blue 993 tt and it sounded better than the 996, may have been custom.
Re: 911 TT "Generations"
the first 911 turbo was a 3.0, then a 3.3 came.
so the first pic is 930 3.0 and the 2nd a 930 3.3.
The 3.3 is also used in the 964 but was afterwards
also replaced by a 3.6 (in combination with speedline rims).
My question is why there isn't a difference between the 2
965's ?

These images are part of the intro on the Porsche Masterwerks page, if you chose the low bandwidth option.

Flyer,
Thanks for elaborating me! But what is the 965 then?
-Joost-
There has not been a 965 production car.
Sometimes the 964 turbo is shortly called "the 965",
I don't know of this is official Porsche language but
we certainly call the 964 turbo, a 965.
With the 965 I'm referring to the 3.3 and the 3.6 version.

I'm pretty sure 965 is the internal model number for a 964 Turbo, just like 951 is the number for 944 Turbo. Correct me if I am wrong.

I was hoping someone would come up with a higher resolution copy of it.

just checked some websites and it looks like 965 is common used for the 964 turbo...
It's the same as we call a 911 turbo (type 901, not thanks to Peugeot
), a 930.
And the 944 turbo, a 951. (just like 1RAGE said)

You have to differentiate between what might have become "popular" use and the actual model designaton used by the manufacturer.
As far as I am aware, the 964 Turbo was referred to "officially" as the 964T to distinguish it from the standard 911 (964), unless this was also just another "popular" model designation invented outside the factory.
